Castle Con is over. I planned to post that i was at the con and ready to take players again, but the players were there and ready. I lost track of how many people i ran through demos od BattleTech and Alpha Strike. Literally lost track. On the plus side, both demo kits came home with all their dice and other pieces. Two demo kits spent threed days at a con and came back complete. And I was giving demos to both experienced gamers and to kids. Sometimes kids of experienced gamers who saw someone doing demos of a game they fell in love with as a kid and wanted their kid to experience it. It was a good three days and I am tired. Castle Con is over, the people did an amazing job running it, and I look forward to the next one.

Drinks! Since humanity first began, we have been experimenting with beverages beyond simple water. Fermenting fruit, milk from various mammals, mashing berries…and later experimenting with getting desired effects by mixing things together in different ways; potions concocted to evoke certain feelings, heal an ailment, erase memories, or inspire strong emotions. Across many cultures & oceans we find different myths of fountains of youth, elixirs of life, amrita, blessed mead, holy ale, love potions, sanctified wines, & potent poisons.

Come! Drink from a cup of stories varied! Dare to follow these epic quests, potions with unintended consequences, ales holy, wine deadly, and toast…to adventure!

Tell me, friend, will you drink?

From the Brim to the Dregs will be coming out this Friday. What strange concoctions can change the fates of men? One of my stories is in it. Captain Bill Carter of the Texas Rangers and Joanna of the Faery return to face otherworldly creatures that threaten humanity in the Old West. And she has a little drink. If you want to check out their previous adventures before the anthology comes out, try out the Goblin Market today.
